The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University

Performance is a central part of the Peabody experience. Throughout the year there are numerous recitals, concerts, and masterclasses that allow students the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for successful performance. In conjunction with these skills, the Preparatory strives to develop the complementary skills of how to be an effective and evaluative audience member. Music students have the opportunity to perform in their teacher's studio recital, the school-wide Signature Recital series or one of the Preparatory's five annual competitions. Also available are weekly repertoire and master classes, chamber music ensembles, three orchestras and the Peabody Children's Chorus. Dance students can participate in master classes and interdisciplinary workshops throughout the year as well as several fully staged productions.
